Here is the real question everybody should ask themselves: In today’s world, Why do I try to work honestly for a dollar?

Its not that easy question to answer anymore. The same can be said for working at or for Google or Facebook etc

For the amount of good Google has done for human beings and Internet, there is equal amount of morally questionable ways they make money. 'Honest work' is such a fluid concept now that the grey area seems okay.

The most annoying thing is traffic is comming from google. Lately google search results are full of such low quality results, computer generated text, etc. Same applies also to YT - videos with 2x speed, inverted colors etc.

>Same applies also to YT - videos with 2x speed, inverted colors etc.

What is this? Can you provide some links to these kind of videos. Thank you.

That filmmaker was anti-Putin and he still lives in Russia? Totally believable.

Pussy Riot is anti-Putin and they are still based in Russia. Same can be said about everyone in Russia who voted against Putin in the most recent election. You don't have to live outside of Russia to be anti-Putin.

You can call them anti-Trump as well. And they have to serve jail time in Russia, btw.

No argument on the doxxing side, but I wasn't talking about Assange. We were talking about the "behind the scenes" movie, and the maker of the film might have been a Putin critic at some point, but is no more than a clown now. His Twitter feed is quite delicious, complete with claims that Russian press is freer than Western, and with adoring comments from people with English-sounding names, but written in such a stil…

So, I'm supposed to believe some anon's interpretation of this documentary... apparently based on his subjective analysis of some guy's twitter feed... over my own lying eyes? How do you explain the Russian documents on Browders website that say ... what Nekrasov says, and NOT what Browder says? It's a pretty simple fact check; you don't even need to speak Russian to do it. I did it, and it appears that Nekrasov was…

Oh, you can believe anything you want, including, from your many posts, that Putin is a nice guy.

I do read Russian, though, and can read Nekrasov's (not "some guy") twitter feed. HYe might as well be working for RT or Sputnik, and deserves exactly as much credibility as those fine news sources. They also want one to believe that evil Browder wants to start a war. Right...

Following the same logic killing someone would also be legal as long as "nobody complains".

Not really. Around here, some crimes and all civil matters require a complaint but other crimes, such as murder, can be prosecuted without one, on the state's own behalf.

The FBI investigates IP theft and counterfeiting. It's not clear to me whether they require a complaint before taking action.

Lol, OK browderbot. Obviously I am a Kremlin functionary for not being a lemming. Only those who believe what some billionaire's PR firm tells them are non-Putin slaves.

Unlike you, I post under my real name. And I will say again: whatever your worthless anon view of Nekrasov's twitter feed might be, his documentary appears to be true in all the details I checked. Including the important ones of who Magnitsky was and what he was doing in Russia.

Not to do anything to violate HN's rules, and you certainly are free to believe what you want, or what you need, but in this particular matter I will take an opinion of someone who doesn't even speak Russian, and does not care to look at any of the primary sources with a great grain of salt.

All the visitor data is based on faulty data - there is no connection between the numbers his sources report and reality. If you have your own modestly popular website, go check and see what those sites report for you. Those numbers are totally made up.

That of course also means, that the revenue estimate is absolute speculation.

Even better: The original question "where did these files come from?" is not even answered.

And I'm wrong.

Prosecutors can press charges on any case, but customarily don't if the victim isn't willing to cooperate.
